It appears a hospital in Teheran has now been hit.

Iโm not the first one to point out that 1- Israel has a Palestinian Mandela, Marwan Barghouti who polls very favourably among Palestinians, in prison
2- Israel is an Apartheid state and figures like Desmond Tutu regularly compared Israel to Apartheid South Africa
This is rhetorical, right?

We were literally watching our community provide a ceremony at the Whipple building.
Hennepin County Sheriffโs then began to escalate tensions. This was disrespectful to our community, our culture, and our ancestors.
This created fear and was an attack on our right to peacefully assemble.
A fact sheet from CENTCOM on Operation Epic Fury listing the types ofw eapons used, targets in Iran, over 1,000 targets struck, etc. Does not list the US casualties so far.
CENTCOM just dropped this fact sheet on the first 24 hours regarding Operation Epic Fury/strikes on Iran. Among other things, it lists the various weapons systems used and adds: "...and special capabilities we can't list here!"

Really saddened to hear of the death of the legendary Paul Conroy at just 61 - one of the bravest, best and kindest of people and an astonishingly good photographer to boot.
Here is his last work for Byline Times.

Our friend Paul Conroy was more than an outstanding photojournalist, he was a brave, decent man who ran toward the truth when others ran from it.
Iโm absolutely shocked by the news.
Rest easy, Gunner Conroy ๐
And, he could do worse than that. We need to get his short little vulgarian fingers away from "the button".

Absolutely gutted to hear about the passing of the excellent @reflextv.bsky.social Paul Conroy. He was an incredible reporter, a delightful human, a tough son of a gun, and will be deeply missed on all levels.
Field reporters are a different breed, the salt of the earth, and Paul was S tier

Let's review points brought out by the Group and others.
1. The GOP lead by Trump is violating the Constitution to install a Neo-fascist govt
2. He will violate the sanctity of Midterm US elections either through violence or coercion.
3. He will not leave the office of President in 2029.
Iranian Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref informed officials of plans to take charge of the country, according to a report by state media.
That suggests that President Masoud Pezeshkian was either badly injured or killed.
Happening now: a protest in Chicago's federal plaza is underway in response to US and Israeli strikes on Iran earlier today.
Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho Lopez just addressed the crowd, which I'd put at a couple hundred people strong. A lone counterprotestor is also posted up across the street.
Lost in all this noise - what an absolute failure on the part of the Iranian regime. EVERYONE knew that strikes were coming and they could not hide Khamenei? Iran is not a paper tiger. What's weaker than paper?
